Eurofound seeks to establish a four-year network of national correspondents in Cyprus and Poland to provide scheduled and on-request reporting services. The contract is split into two parts: a direct contract for recurring annual deliverables and a framework contract for ad hoc services. Correspondents will report on national developments in working conditions, industrial relations, employment, and living conditions. Deliverables include thematic research contributions, sectoral representativeness studies, database updates (ERM, EU PolicyWatch), and case studies. Quality, timeliness, and balanced reporting are key evaluation criteria. The estimated budget is €220,000 for Cyprus and €200,000 for Poland. Tenderers must demonstrate relevant expertise, team capacity, and compliance with EU data protection and procurement rules. Contracts begin in March 2026, with renewals possible until 2030.
